Thomas Carlyle, Scottish historian and philosopher, lived at 5 Cheyne Row (now renumbered 24) from 1834 until his death in 1881. His wife Jane Welsh described the small enclosed rear garden as "in the worst order, but boasting two vines ... and a walnut tree". The house, still containing most of the Carlyles' possessions, has been open as a museum since 1895 and is now in the care of the National Trust. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/carlyles-house
